yea, the smash community doesn't post about LoL very much so any time some poor unfortunate soul stumbles across the LoL thread there, I just ramble about Pantheon until they go away.

but it's way cooler cause I can infract people there AND I have a bitchin' pantheon avatar and title

It's a 1v1 lane, and for the most part teams expect their 1v1 to carry them (ie. destroy the other team).

Edit:
Because you don't have to share gold with anyone (in 2v2 you have two people trying to grab from the same pot), you don't have to be afraid of lame lane combos (ie. double stuns), and you level the fastest because you're not sharing exp.

Edit2:
It's also huge for team morale if you can start scoring kills on their mid. There're lanes at sides that you just have to concede (ie. against Soraka Kass) but if your mid is kicking butt you have more motivation to keep playing hard, but if you're conceding a lane and your mid dies 3 times it's pretty much gg, both in reality and in spirit.

0/19/5 quality teammate for my third game. Others weren't much better :<

I don't understand, I've never played a single game of DotA or HoN or anything like this. But even with this only being my third game, I understand when to run and how to be a pussy and not die vs just standing there and being killed in a 2v1 before minions spawn

Just curious, and thanks for the tips.

While new I feel I hold my own fairly well when laning and pushing back or keeping even at least. Its just a bit hard to get in kills once 6 with Tristana if I can't get positioning just right

Actually you can kill someone over 700HP with tristana's burst, assuming you level explosive shots to 2 and rocket jump to 3, and take ignite.

I know well how to do it, its a matter of usually they do also, so the positioning is still an issue. If I want to jump past them and ult them towards my tower they move back if I move up denying it. Or needing to knock into a wall etc. Its quite doable, but not nearly as simple as ults that simply zap and are done with. I managed it last game but still, they usually keep at a range I can't jump to ult them somewhere convenient.

Also, waiting on ignite as a summoner spell still :x

The guy just ran into them and kept suiciding over and over and over, telling our team positions on the map, where panth was going to ulti and so on. If I hadn't played the game of my life and if the pantheon hadn't been amazing, I don't know what we could have done. O_o Reported and hoping he gets banned, how can this shit happen at lvl 30?

Drag the game out so long that death takes forever. Also he was probably underleveld for most of his deaths which only give like 50 gold and 0 XP. Only annie had mejais, but veigar can deal with her EZPK.
That, and they dont really have a tank, and 4 DPS, surprised no one else got thornmail other than Panth.
Having all your towers except middle, works too :D

0/9/21, 9/0/21, or 9/21/0, really up to you, I like the first the best (<3 strength of spirit).

Attack Speed Marks, HP Quints, Mp5pL Glyphs and Seals

Ghost/Cleanse

open boots + 3 health pots
malady
zerker greaves
madred's razors
phage
madred's bloodrazors
wit's end or SotD
frozen mallet

obviously Wit's End is only useful vs. teams with at least 4 mana users, and there's plenty of room to shuffle the end of the build order up as you see fit, but I like Malady + razors to snipe dragon whenever I have 10-15 seconds alone in the area and to quickly get Lizard buff which is what makes you a real killing machine.

and no guys, I'm not kidding, this is roughly how I've been building TF recently and it's effective despite being full of items we all think are shitty like zerker greaves, malady, and wit's end.

Skills go W,E,E,W,E,R,E,W,E,W,W,R,W,Q,Q,Q,R,Q,Q, spam the shit out of PaC when fighting, with mana regen runes and meditation and picking blues sometimes and the fact that it's the only spell you actually cast, you really should be able to use it pretty much whenever you want. I could see some room for refinement in Seals and Glyphs to compensate for the fact that you don't cast much, but frankly I've been pretty content to just spam like crazy, sometimes even mashing W with no regard for what comes up during teamfights just to get damage out there.

I dunno, the whole thing feels scrubby and I admittedly don't play TF much anymore, but it still feels surprisingly effective every time I run it and don't get FBed by Maknoon :p.
